Undergraduate

The Department of Integrated Design offers a unique curriculum based on the integration of communication design (C), fashion design (F), and product design (P). We also offer modules to help students integrate their design practise through new media and technology, service/system design, design management, and design innovation, among others.

The curriculum of the Integrated Design programme begins in the first year with an emphasis on comprehending the notion of integrated design, examining the principles of design and media, and nurturing the mental agility and spirit of inquiry that professional designers should possess. In the second year, students study and gain expertise in numerous design domains through exploring integrated theory and design research, and technology, while concentrating on their particular area of expertise within the scope of integrated design. The third year of the curriculum consists of courses that deepen students’ knowledge of their chosen specialism while exposing them to integrated design processes and methodologies, allowing them to mature into more integrated professionals. The fourth year of the curriculum is intended to help students develop into integrated design professionals with practical leadership skills by providing project-based teaching contents that incorporates advanced design competencies and integrated design approaches, as well as the practical coursework required for starting a business or entering related industries after graduation.

In addition to providing integrated and interdisciplinary competencies, the Department of Integrated Design offers a tailored curriculum that allows students to develop professional expertise in specific domain within communication design, fashion design, product design, and AI-based integrated design.

Graduate Programme

The aim of the master’s program in Integrated Design is to create individuals who can contribute to the production and distribution of rapidly evolving design knowledge from a human-centered and integrated design perspective. By participation in a variety of advanced and interdisciplinary courses and research programmes, students in this programme can investigate the potential of new design fields that extend beyond the paradigm of existing design disciplines and research, and develop as autonomous researchers.

Through in-depth study of specialised subjects in communication design, fashion design, product/service design, digital design, and Human Life & Innovation Design, the curriculum of the graduate school of Integrated Design is intended to increase knowledge of human-centered and integrated approaches. It also seeks to promote talented individuals who can work in various design professions.

  • Communication Design: Explores strategies, information design, user experience, design methodology, presentation techniques, etc. to effectively communicate messages across various media such as print, digital, space, and new media in various fields such as branding, exhibition, education, entertainment, etc.
  • Fashion Design: Explores contemporary fashion design and the fashion industry by examining the representation of personal, social, and cultural values, consciousness of beauty, and technology, and explores the changes in future fashion design and the expansibility of the fashion industry.
  • Product/Service Design: Conducts design research on products, services, and systems that generate ecological, social, and economic value and design for sustainable behavior.
  • Digital Design: Explores the scientific and expansion of design using new media technologies such as artificial intelligence, VR/AR.
  • Innovative Design Major for Human Life: A convergence major operated jointly with the Department of Child and Family Studies in the College of Human Ecology, it aims to cultivate designers to generate social innovation for different stages of human life.

In addition to offering differentiated educational programmes, the graduate school of Integrated Design actively engages in academic research and presentations, seminars that help develop research capabilities, and collaboration projects with a variety of government and corporate entities, providing numerous opportunities for professional researcher development.
